Application filed February l, 1889. Serial No. 298,410. (No model.)

To all whom. t may concern.-

Be it known that I, JOHN WV. DAVIES, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVorcester, in the count-y of Vorcester and State of Massachusetts, have invented a new and useful Improvement in Show-Cards for Rings; and I do hereby declare the following to' be a full, clear, and exact description of In y invention, such as Will enable any one to make and use the same.

The object of my invention is to afford a better mode of displaying rings in jewelry show-cases or in shop-windows, which object I accomplish in the manner set forth in the accompanying specification and drawings, in Which- Figure l represents a blank a., composed of' subst-ance, is cut in the shape as shown in Fig. l, after which the same is formed into a section of a cone by bending, as shown in Fig. 2. VV'hen thus formed and a ring b placed upon it, as shown in Fig. 3, the whole is complete, and the effect in the display of rings upon groups of such cards is very pleasing and attractive and useful to the vender of such an article of jewelry.

Having thus described my invention and mode of forming, what I claim as new and my invention is- A show-card for the display of finger-rings, constructed from flexible sheet material in a single blank in the shape of a semi-disk, and with the yoke or arms projecting in the same plane, but divergently from the straight or diametric edge, the whole, when bent or slightly curved, being adapted to receive a ring over the yoke or arms, and to support it in an elevated and conspicuous position, substantially as shown and described.
